Subject: Parody of Tarpaulin Jacket From: SINSULL Date: 11 Jul 01 - 04:58 PM For an explanation worth the read, go here: clickhere The General inspecting the trenches exclaimed with a horrified shout, "I refuse to command a Division Which leaves its excreta about." And certain responsible critics Made haste to reply to his words Observing that his Staff advisers Consisted entirely of turds. But nobody took any notice No one was prepared to refute, That the presence of shit was congenial Compared with the presence of Shute. For shit may be shot at odd corners And paper supplied there to suit, But a shit would be shot without mourners If somebody shot that shit Shute. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Parody of Tarpaulin Jacket From: SINSULL Date: 11 Jul 01 - 08:10 PM No connection. I was surfing the net and came across the story. I found it amusing that soldiers and sailors from the same country, bleeding in the same war clung to their dislike/jealousy of one another. The General complaining about the housekeeping amid the chaos of war struck me as funny and the men's song as even funnier. |
